BNSF Railway reviews

On call 24/7/365 Work 200+ hours a month Sit in a hotel 180+ hours a month Never see family No days off without punishment Constantly under scrutiny by management Never know when you'll get called to work On call 24/7/365 and now they are implementing a new attendance policy, that doesn't allow you any time off without discipline. Basically if you take 2 days off per month, you'll be fired within 8 months. You work an average of 180 to 200+ hours per month, and sit in a hotel waiting to go to work, almost an equal amount of time. You're home for maybe 10 hours if you're lucky, then you go back and do it again. I am away from home an average of 36 to 40 hours, every time I go to work.

Your sleep cycle will never function correctly. The supervisors laugh at you when you bring safety concerns to them. No official cares about your home life. You will be punished for taking medical time off for covid. You will be expected to spend 36-? Hours away from home but return in 10.5 hours. You will live by the phone on call. You will spend about half or more of the month away from family. If your lucky you could be home for 1 event a month. The job will stress you out so be prepared for anxiety and blood pressure medication.
